The Condor Migrates to University of California Press in 2008

University of California Press Journals + Digital Publishing is proud
to announce that the Cooper Ornithological Society, one of the oldest
and most important ornithological societies in the world, has chosen
UC Press as its new publishing partner for The Condor. Dedicated to
the study and conservation of birds, the Cooper Ornithological
Society has had a longstanding commitment to the development of avian
scholarship in the service of the ornithological community. UC Press
is proud to be a part of this mission and to help the Society further
its goals in the conservation of birds and their habitats.

The Press is keen to also be working collaboratively with BioOne to
assure broad access for libraries to the online version of The
Condor. The journal will continue to be available via BioOne's
BioOne.1 collection, a full-text online package of essential
biological science research journals. The Condor will also be made
available for purchase as a standalone journal through UC Press and
its online hosting platform, Caliber. Both print + electronic and
electronic-only packages will be available for institutions from UC
Press.

Published continuously since 1899, The Condor has contained original
research reports and review articles pertaining to the biology of
wild species of birds. Over time the journal has become one of the
most respected and distinguished in its field, frequently publishing
seminal articles in avian biology studies. The journal has
consistently maintained its position as one of the top-ranked
ornithology journals in the ISI impact factor rankings. Beginning
with Volume 110, Issue 1 in February 2008, The Condor will be
available from UC Press both online and in print.

"The Cooper Ornithological Society is extremely pleased to work with
University of California Press, while retaining partnership with
BioOne, to increase the reach of The Condor and to advance electronic
publishing of the journal. We expect this new partnership and a new
editorial process to take one of the premier ornithological journals
of the world to a whole new level." Thomas E. Martin, President,
Cooper Ornithological Society

"The Condor has been with BioOne since the aggregation's inception in
2001. By partnering with both University of California Press and
BioOne, The Condor is fulfilling its mission to sustainably maximize
distribution for the benefit of the entire scholarly community."
Susan Skomal Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, BioOne

"UC Press is proud to be working with both the Cooper Ornithological
Society and BioOne to enable a broad range of access to The Condor"
says Rebecca Simon, Director, University of California Press Journals
+ Digital Publishing. "Such collaborations between non-profit,
mission-driven organizations help assure not only affordable access
for libraries but sustainable models for the scholarly publishing
community."
